A creepy place in Japan



To those who live or have visited Japan, have you ever gone to Suicide Forest? I read a comic book about it years ago and thought it was pure fiction. When I stumbled onto this is Youtube, it turns out to be true.

After watching this, I realized this place would be a cool place for the undead to frolic.



"The Aokigahara Forest is the most popular site for suicides in Japan. After the novel Kuroi Jukai was published, in which a young lover commits suicide in the forest, people started taking their own lives there at a rate of 50 to 100 deaths a year. The site holds so many bodies that the Yakuza pays homeless people to sneak into the forest and rob the corpses. The authorities sweep for bodies only on an annual basis, as the forest sits at the base of Mt. Fuji and is too dense to patrol more frequently."
